Patagonia Nano-Air™ Jacket and Hoody

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Innovative lifestyle brand Patagonia take outerwear design to another level as they announce their breakthrough Nano-Air technology Jackets and Hoodies just in time for Fall 2014.

Through years of commitment in research and re-designs, Patagonia have finally unlocked a technology that allows for incredible temperature regulations, whilst still holding the garments fit and allowing for optimum mobility. The highly breathable Nano-Air products combine the brands FullRange™ insulation and nylon fabric to provide warmth and comfort. Not only for use on the mountains, the jackets are lightweight and arrive in a clean, easy to wear design ready for everyday life.

Patagonia climbing ambassador Mikey Schaffer had this to say on the release – “This piece has changed the way I think about dressing for the mountains. With previous insulated jackets, I’d constantly be putting the jacket on at a belay and then taking it off before I started climbing. None of that is necessary with the Nano-Air Jacket. Having such a breathable jacket nearly eliminates the chills you get after sweating hard. The Nano-Air is definitely one of the most versatile jackets I’ve ever worn.”

The Patagonia Nano-Air Jackets and Hoodies are available at www.themountainfactor.com now.
